Originally started in Germany for track testing vehicles off the production line, masks (also called "Bras") have long been considered a necessity for any car owner wanting to protect the area of the car that takes the most abuse on the road - the front end, especially the leading edge of the hood and any painted areas around the grille.
Quality features you'll find in every Covercraft mask:

Protective air intake screens are an integral part of the mask, not separate, and they are sewn into the outside of the mask so there are no loose pieces of material inside to abrade the paint surface.

Covered aluminum tabs allow adjustment at the fender wells as vinyl expands and contracts due to temperature. Take a look at a non-adjustable mask being driven down the road and you'll see why this is an important feature.

Reinforced air foils prevent flapping and lift. Very few patterns don't require this feature; there is just too much air whipping around the front of your vehicle as it goes down the road, like cross-winds and back drafts from passing semi trucks.

We use a micro-perforated finish on our vinyl. It allows the mask to "breathe" and permits moisture vapor to evaporate when the vehicle is driven in wet weather. Still, if a mask becomes wet and is going to be left sitting in the sun, we recommend it be removed to allow the backing to dry properly.

Our heavy-gauge leather grain vinyl has a soft, protective backing. We use white non-woven fleece so you can easily see when it's time to clean the back-side of the mask.

Seams are overlapped and finished with a strong, durable top stitch. Edges are covered with soft, non-abrasive felt-rimmed bindings.

Multiple styles to choose from:

One-Piece Front Mask “M” Series

Covercraft masks give maximum
protection with sporty good looks. Over 450 patterns for cars, vans and pickups. Custom
tailored for an exact fit.

More than 1,000 patterns designed
to allow the hood to be opened with the
mask in place. Available for cars, vans
and pickups, these masks offer the same
protection and good looks of our one-piece designs.

(Depending on the shape
and slope of the hood, some patterns are
one-piece styled but still allow the hood
to open with the mask in place.)

Deflector Protector®
Hood Shield “MD/MH” Series

Custom-tailored to protect the front of
the hood. At the top of the hood curve, we
add a reinforced bug deflector to create a swirling wind action to help divert most
bugs, dirt and debris away from the
windshield.
